"... is there anything else I should care about? ..."
Usage. Is this to be a min dev machine? ("99%") if so look into 3 things
- port replicator: some way to plug in ergonomic keyboard, mouse + external screen
- power & recharge (at a power point? or are you mobile all the time?)
- Operating system availability: (are you happy with using Windows, OSX or do you want to install inux/nix?)
- Warranty (can you extend it?)
For me the sweet spot is a ThinkPad T61. Reliable, durable, has necessary accessories and you can get Linux pre-installed (by third parties)
- sethjohn 19y ago"- Warranty (can you extend it?)" Generally electronics warranties are an overpriced scam (sort of like the insurance car rental agencies try to talk you into). I've heard from several places, though, that the Apple warranties are a great deal.
- shayan 19y agogood point bootload, thanks... and about warranty I hope I can get a nice one from the manufacturuer themselves, don't really like the ones retailers like best buy give you, those ones are a rip off
